MARK HUMPHREY I Associated Press
Singer Amy Grant performs during the Dove Awards in Nashville, Tenn. in Oct. 2019. Grant
has had open heart surgery to fix a heart condition she has had since birth. A publicist for
the singer said doctors discovered the condition during a routine checkup. Grant is married
to country singer Vince Gill and is a six-time Grammy winner with hits like “Baby, Baby,’’and
“That’s What Love is For.”
Singer Grant has open heart
surgery to fix medical condition
A publicist for Amy Grant says the
contemporary Christian singer had open
heart surgery on Wednesday to fix a heart
condition she has had since birth.
Doctors discovered Grant had a heart
condition called partial anomalous pul
monary venous return (PAPVR) during a
routine checkup. Velvet Kelm, her publi
cist, said Grant’s doctor said the surgery
“couldn’t have gone better.”
Grant, who has been married to coun
try singer Vince Gill for 20 years, is six
time Grammy winner with well known
crossover pop hits like “Baby, Baby,”
“Every Heartbeat” and “That’s What
Love is For.” She’s sold more than 30
million albums, including her 5-times
platinum 1991 record “Heart in Motion,”
that introduced her to a larger pop
audience.
Police: Teen hurt in gunfire at rapper
YFN Lucci video shoot in Atlanta
A teenager was injured Wednesday night
after gunfire rang out during the filming of a
music video in Atlanta, the city’s police said.
Rapper YFN Lucci, whose real name is Ray-
shawn Bennett, was filming the music video in
an apartment complex in the southeastern part
of the city, Atlanta police told WGCL-TV.
Police said the 15-year-old boy’s thumb was
grazed after some 21 bullets were fired, with
at least one striking YFN Lucci’s Bentley. The
teen was not identified and it was not immedi
ately known if he has been hospitalized.
YFN Lucci left the apartment complex
without his luxury car before authorities
arrived at the scene, police said. Police are
searching for suspects in the shooting.

ABOUT US AND OUR VALUES
The public has a right to know, and The
Times is dedicated to that principle and the
“continued enlightenment and freedom of
the people of North Georgia,” as engraved
outside our building.
The pursuit of truth is a fundamental
principle of journalism. But the truth is not
always apparent or known immediately.
A professional journalist’s role is to
report as completely and impartially
as possible verifiable facts so readers
can, based on their own knowledge and
experience, determine what they believe
to be the truth. That is often an ongoing
pursuit as journalists work to uncover
stories and follow those stories wherever
they lead, regardless of preconceived
ideas.
The news they report is separate from
the opinions shared in the pages of The
Times, which include those by its editorial
board, columnists, political cartoonists
and readers who submit letters to the
editor.
The presentation of both news and
opinions is designed to educate, entertain
and foster community conversation.
Readers are encouraged to challenge and
sharpen their perceptions based on that
presentation.

same for us, offering news tips, criticisms

My friend’s chronic
tardiness is taking a toll
Hi, Carolyn:
I’ve made one really great friend in my
new city, but he has been, without fail,
late to everything we’ve ever planned.
Sometimes, I wait an hour and politely
ask, “What’s your ETA?” and he
replies with “Sorry, I’m just going
to do my hair and 15 other things
and I’ll be on my way!”
Recently, we were at his
apartment and I got hungry, so
I said, “I’m going to go to the
store, I’ll be back in five.” I would
have been, except he wanted to
join. First, he had to change his
contact lenses and fix his hair,
and then he started telling me
this story about his mom that I didn’t pay
much attention to because I was annoyed.
About 10 more things and 25 minutes later,
we finally left his place. At the store, he
spent about 30 minutes trying to decide on
a snack.
I’m trying to be respectful of his idiosyn
crasies, but I’m a very structured person
and need him to try to follow a schedule.
He apologizes ALL the time — every
other word is “sorry” — and he is aware his
tardiness is a problem.
I’m just not sure if he’s working on it. I’d
really like to avoid conflict, since he’s is one
of my closest friends here. Advice?
— Trying
You “need him to try to follow a sched
ule,” or else what?
I’d pose this question regardless of the
details. Whenever you declare what you
need from someone else, you hand them
control of the situation — unless you also
have a consequence in mind of their not
coming through. “I need him to follow a
schedule, or else this friendship is more
stressful than it’s worth.” For example.
This is an internal consequence, not to
be confused with an ultimatum, one spoken
out loud as a threat. Threatening people is
transactional and disrespectful. However,
you can say out loud that his tar
diness frays your nerves — and
invite him to help you reconcile
this: “You’re a great friend. How
can we compromise here?”
This is only when an “or else”
looms on your friendship’s hori
zon. If not — if instead you plan
to keep this friend regardless,
and just really want him to stop
driving you nuts — then you need
to assume the burden of change
yourself instead of putting it on him.
It belongs with you anyway. Even though
there’s no defense for chronic tardiness,
you’re the one who’s dissatisfied with the
terms of your friendship, so you’re the one
who needs to make whatever changes are
necessary to satisfy yourself.
This can also be achievable, cheerfully
and with compassion — his chaos and apol
ogies hint at the need for it — through limits
and consequences in miniature. You won’t
flee the friendship, but you will... leave
for the store in exactly five minutes, for
example, “with you or without you, though I
hope it’s with.” And if he isn’t ready, then go
get your snack. Smile, rinse, repeat.
Short version, respect his idiosyncrasies
and your own. Leave room for him to be
late when you have that room to spare, but
also grant yourself license to be prompt
when you must: when the bus leaves in 5,
the show starts at 8 or you’re too hungry to
wait on his hair.

On this date:
In 1794, Congress passed the Neutrality Act, which prohibited
Americans from taking part in any military action against a coun
try that was at peace with the United States.
In 1912, U.S. Marines landed in Cuba at the order of President
William Howard Taft to ensure order and protect U.S. interests.
In 1933, the United States went off the gold standard.
In 1950, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Henderson v. United States,
struck down racially segregated railroad dining cars.
In 1967, war erupted in the Middle East as Israel, anticipating a
possible attack by its Arab neighbors, launched a series of pre
emptive airfield strikes that destroyed nearly the entire Egyptian
airforce; Syria, Jordan and Iraq immediately entered the conflict.
In 1968, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was shot and mortally wounded

mary at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles; assassin Sirhan
Bishara Sirhan was arrested at the scene.

TODAY IN HISTORY PHOTO
TIM CLARY I Associated Press
Protesters lie on the street in front of the New York Stock Exchange in a demonstration
against the high cost of the AIDS treatment drug AZT on Thursday, Sept. 14, 1989. The
protest was organized by ACT UP, a gay rights activist group.
| The calendar of events will return at a later date,
HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s
not only hurt people who hurt
people. It’s kind and loving
people, well-meaning people,
people with the best interests
of others at heart. Humans
are imperfect. Love is an end
less act of forgiveness.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Today’s situation is sweet,
and there are ever-richer lay
ers to this experience-cake.
However, as it goes with
desserts, too much of a good
thing can be worse than none
of it. Pace yourself.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
It’s a day of bright ideas. You
will energize different areas
of your life with vitalizing
agents such as useful tools,
surprisingly efficient methods,
beauty, humor and creativity.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You don’t have to do a lot
more than just show up ready
for anything. In fact, trying to
do too much will only detract
from all you have to give. Your
presence is a gift beyond
measure.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s
no need to make people recall
what they promised to you,
respect what you do for them
or remember you in general.
Instead, get busy making sure
that no one has a chance to
forget you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Your ambition is not a rejec
tion of who you are right now;
it’s part of your wonder. You
are a person whose pockets
are lined with the seeds of
tomorrow.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23).
People will want to know
about you. Though you see
the value in keeping mystery
alive. If knowledge is power,
then you’ll be more powerful
as you hold back some of the
information.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In
addition to fun, your prospect
has love, resources and inspi
ration to offer you. Would you
believe this is only the start of
it? There’s much more to be
explored here.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). This is your day. You’ll
hit the green lights, get in the
right grocery store line, find
the prime parking space. The
little things that go right are
signs that big things will go
right, too.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Your unique qualities are
so attractive, and the person
who sees this is not only a fan
but someone you will love to
spoil with the attention only
you can give.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
There’s no end to a circle. To
be included in one can feel
wonderfully secure or like
entrapment. With circles, you
have to break in and break
out.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Sometimes it seems that your
idealistic imagination is at war
with the reality of a situation.
Not today, which brings a bril
liant blend of the practical and
the sublime.
